Muscle Cars

[koolmike]

I like old muscle cars from '60 - '77. Thinking of investing in one down the road. What do you think of something like this:

1968 Buick GS 400

I love muscle cars I had a couple different Chevelles 67 and 73,I thought of investing in a 63 Impala a few years back because it's another favorite of mine but couldnt get the guy to come down a lot on his price.Also love the 69 Road Runner, I could go on and on.

Right now I have an 81 Firebird that i'm working on.


This is my dream car though~

My best friend just bought a car that looks exactly like this...

http://americandreamcars.com/1971chevellemalibuss2drht0308.jpg

1971 Chevelle Supersport... pretty fuckin nice...

I've always been a Mustang fan... my dream car would be a 69' Mustang Mach 1 like this:

http://www.ecruisers.org/images/Bob%27s%2069%20Mach1.jpg

My wife' dream car - 69 Dodge Charger:

http://www.esreality.com/files/inlineimages/2008/63673-Dodge%20Charger%201969.jpg

We couldn't afford either of our dream cars, so we settled for one that looks almost exactly like this:

http://www.stangbangers.com/2005_MustangGT_ForSale5a.jpg

Same color, but whoever owned it before us did some modifications... added cobras and shit... looks bad-ass though..

[koolmike]

Badass Charger for sure.

[Aussie_Horror_buff83]

dream muscle car would be a 69' Holden HK 2 Door Monaro 327......mmmmmm
or a 75' Holden LX A9X Torana.

Most of you's probably have no idea what car's im talking about as they are Aussie muscle car's not sure if they were ever exported oversea's

The manaros were the same as Camaros and Firebirds here in the US...badass vehicles for sure.

I'm not sure about the Torana, might be like a chevelle or something.

[koolmike]

Not bad:

Manaro

[strtfghtr]

that's the new Manaro, AKA the Pontiac GTO here in the US
The 4 door Holden Commodore is the G8 AKA the new Camaro

the new camaro actually shares the same platform as those cars mentioned above

[koolmike]

cool

[Grendel]

Losing the G8 after a single year is one of the worst things about the dissolution of Pontiac.

He's pooh-poohed the idea so far, but with Penske getting that distribution deal for Saturn, hopefully he can find some way to convince GM to let him get ahold of that platform if they're not going to do anything with it, here.

[strtfghtr]

if you ask me saturn was the direction GM should have been moving, inexpensive, smaller, well-designed, reliable cars

[koolmike]

I like what Saturn is doing.

[DMHead777]

goats or challengers for me (not the new shit either)

[satanocat]

my first car was a 76 nova (4 door). i loved it it was tan and the guy that had it before me had put in plaid interior. i wish i had a pic.
right now my old man is putting new upholstery in his 84 5.0. then as soon as he gets the timing issue fixed he will be driving one sweet ass stang.

That would be the muscle car of my choice, down to the year. :coolbeer:

Awesome. My first car was a 77' Nova. It was rust brown and had tan interior. I loved that thing. Unfortunately it wasn't in the best of shape when I got it and It wound up needing more work than I had money so I had to sell it. I've regretted it ever since.

GM beginning to backpedal on Lutz' G8-turning-Caprice comments?
by Chris Shunk on Jul 14th 2009 at 1:29PM

When General Motors' Bob Lutz talks, we listen. The reason, of course, is that he always gives us something good to write. Over the weekend, we told you about an interview Lutz had with Automobile Magazine where the Maximum One said that the G8 will live on as a Chevrolet Caprice. Lutz's comments looked like a sure thing to us, as it's hard to misinterpret these words.

"The last time we looked at [the G8], we decided that we would continue to import it as a Chevrolet. It is kind of too good to waste."

Just a few days later, Blogger Bob sounded a bit less certain about the future of the G8 as Chevrolet. On the company's Fast Lane Blog, Lutz simply said "we're studying the feasibility of bringing (the G8) in as a Caprice for both law enforcement and the public." That doesn't sound nearly as certain as the Automobile interview.

Kicking Tires reportedly received a similar statement from GM brass, saying "As part of its reinvention, General Motors is exploring every opportunity of effectively utilizing its global portfolio of vehicles, facilities and talent. While this exploration includes the possibility of extending imports of Holden vehicles (such as the recent Pontiac G8) to North America, no decision has been made at this time."

We're hoping this is corporate speak for 'We're going to do what Bob says, but we just don't want to promise anything just yet.' Turning the G8 into a Chevrolet model looks to us like the cheapest possible way to keep a terrific vehicle available in the States, and with the Bowtie's significantly larger dealer network, maybe GM can finally figure out how to turn a profit with with the awesome Aussie.

I'm not a hater on everything....I said I liked the wheels :lol:

[steelba]

bah!..
Not surprised though Grendal :shrugs:

[strtfghtr]

its good to know that the "new GM" will continue to be run by idiots in an idiotic manner

[WarBeast]

GM burned me when I bought a grand DAMN (grand am).... the car was shit... the service was shit... everything that circled around my purchase was shit... I swore I'd never buy another pontiac again, just for the principle of it.

[Grendel]

bah!..
Not surprised though Grendal :shrugs:And it's official...


It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…

By Bob Lutz
GM Vice Chairman

OK, I have some late-breaking news for you from the world of GM, where things are indeed moving quickly, and what I’m about to say is proof.

In fact, we’re moving so fast, we’re going back in time to, oh, about four or five days ago, when the Pontiac G8 was going away and was not going to become a new Chevrolet Caprice.

And therein lies the news: The G8 will not be a Caprice after all. I’d mentioned it, and said we were studying it, giving it a serious look, because a car like the G8 was just too good to waste.

That’s all still true. But I have to say that, with my new “marketing” hat on, upon further review and careful study, we simply cannot make a business case for such a program. Not in today’s market, in this economy, and with fuel regulations what they are and will be.

It’s a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).

The only one of it's kind in the world.

Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque.

0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89secs running on biofuel.

That is NOT stainless steel. It’s WHITE GOLD!!
